Starting a bunch of seeds and want them to have the best chance possible. Its gonna be under a dome with heat mat under it. My question is what should my soil/grow plugs temperature be for the best results? Thankx

Oh OK. I thought it was supposed to be in the low 80's. But OK sounds good

85* is my magic number. I start em' in Burpee Self Watering Seed Trays and have a 99% success rate.

75-76-F Is optimal Like ProdigalSun Stated. You might even see 78-F a few place. They'll all get you in the ball park.

The farther away from optimal temp you get the longer germination takes.

85, but I wouldn't worry too hard about adjusting it. Room temp is fine as long as it isn't too cold...
